Study Notes
Heart Valves
- The atrioventricular (AV) valves separate the atria from the ventricles.
- There are two types of valves in the heart: atrioventricular (AV) valves and semilunar valves.
- The tricuspid valve has three cusps or leaflets.
- The mitral valve lies between the left atrium and the left ventricle.
- There are two semilunar valves in the heart.
- The tricuspid valve separates the right atrium from the right ventricle.
- The mitral valve has two cusps or leaflets.
- The semilunar valves are composed of three leaflets.
- The valves in the heart permit blood to flow from the atria to the ventricles and from the ventricles to the arteries.
